The English Way of Making Tea.

Caeseiis fam1ly magazine
Leigh Hunt, Soyer and hundreds of clever
people have written their opinions as to the best
way of making tea. Three things are essential,
good tea, good teapot. and boiling soft water.
We will discuss The goodness of the tea later;

earthen ware coos more rapidly; bur whatever

In the Garden.

Philadelphia Record.
There is not only profit in managing garden
but pleasure Many persons attach no value to
the labor of garden work, especially when it
affords them a mode of healthy outdoor exer-
else. but whether garden be only very small
plot a larger area the advantages derived
depend upon the Skill care and labor OF the per-
son who has charge of it. 1t is true that while
those who cultivate hundreds of acres of truck"
can produce vegetables much more cheaply than
can those whose plots are too small to permit OF
the use of improved implements, the gardener
who grows his vegetables for home use secures
freshness and quality that cannot be obtained
with vegetables that are purchased. There is
quite difference between the pulling OF ripe
tomato from the vine and placing it on the table
aud the selection of from basket that has
been shipped over distance Of rail, and which
may have been taken from the vines two or three
days before.

of the small fruits and vegetables grown, which
is the choice Of varieties Two or three kinds
of squash, several of peas. as we'll as different
varieties of beets, beans, berries and even of
melons. if space allow of their growth. will per-
init OF catering to the preferences ofevery mem
Der of the family. With the selection OF varie-
ties come proper care and judicious working
with the hoe, and it is in this manner that the
younger members are taught their first lessons
in practical agriculture. 1t is said that the boy
who works on a farm where his duties call for
| milking the cows, blowing the fields and cult
waiting the crops, does not have that fononess TOT
farm lfe that is peculiar to the one who is given
a small garden and early taught 70 take an in
terest in it.
1t is often the case that ladies' are benefited
by light work in the garden. and especially il
they are interested in observing the different
stages of growth Of the plants, and when the
farmers wife, and the children also, become in
terested, the cost OF the labor may be really con-
| sidered nothing while the saving of doctors
bills and the enjoyment of the garden luxuries
more than compensate for the care bestowed. If
| every farmer would have garden and take an
interest in it, it would greatly add to the COM
fort and enjoyment of farming az we'll as prove
very profitable

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Fairly Active In Most Departments,
with q Firm Tone to Values.

INDIANAPOLIS, March %.
Trade to-day was fairly active in nearly all
branches. and a firm tone to prices on most
staple articles is still noticeable feature of the
situation. The milder temperature following
the equinoctial storm is favorably affecting
business generally, and the feeling prevails that
with the coming of genuine spring weather the
volume of business will reach larger proportions
than ever before realized, so favorable are the
conditions. In values there were few fiuctua-
ations today. The sugar and coffee markets re-
tain their strong tone. For sugars. the statis-
teal position continues very strong and is i'm
proving, and the advces from abroad report
firm markets. On the WHOLE tho position of
raw sugar favors higher prices. and holders feel
justified in maintaining values. The refined ar
ticle is moving rather slowly, and refners
supplied through direct importations
There has been moderate line trade in teas
and prices are we'll supported The feeling that
the lowest point has been touched is growing
stronger every day. and some pretty large pur-
chsses have been made in New York. Auoys
and low grade Japans are the principal attrac-
tions. Superior and fine Formosas are in light
supply and firmly held. The auction sales in
New York did not result in any change in values
The demand for coffees is q little light Roast
ed grades advance of q cent. The produce mar
kets ara active. Butter is scarce and firm at
quotations.. Eggs are coming in freely. and still
lower prices are in prospect. Poultry is in good
demand; receipts light. Choice apples scarce aud
higher. Potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables
plenty and selling low. Dry goods men report
trade brick and prices firm all along the line.
GRAIN.
The local market to-day was in a much strong.
or position than on any previous day of the
week. There was good milling demand for
choice wheat and prices decidedly frmer Re-
ceipts of corn are on the increase but prices rule
stead and there was a good deal of activity in
choice grades. Oats are in fair demand at un-
changed prices. Bran firm at quotations. Track
bids day were as follows:

MONEY, BONDS AND STOCKS.

A Dull and Featureless Day, with the SMALL
est Transactions Of the Year.
NEW YORk, March 23-Money on call was
easy at 81 06 per cent, the last loan being made
at 81, closing at g.
Prime mercantile paper, 5 06 per cent
Sterling exchange was fairly active and firm
at a. S4i for sixty days, and 81 86a for demand.
The total sales of stocks today were 104, 219
shares including the following: Delaware
Lackawanna e. Western, 1850; Erie. 3,410;
Northwestern, IL. $50; Pacific Mail, 3,40O; Read
ing, $780, ST. Paul, 5,640.
The speculative situation continues without
change, and the dizziness was intensified to-day,
though the general tone Of the market remains
firm. The leaders, it is understood, are dis
couragng activity because of the danger of
squeeze in money. and the present featureless
condition is expected to continue until after
April /. To-day's transactions were the small
est so far this year. and In stagnation and lack
of feature eclipsed any day for long
period. The foreign element did a lit
sle trading. but the commission business was
practically nothing and the great bulk of the
transactions, as usual, were the operations OF
the boardroom scalpers, who displayed very
little disposition to trade. The forenoon was
marked by an advance in Richmond & West
Point, North western and the Omahas, while
Fort Worth e. Denver was weak and lost part of
its late advance. But in no stock did the move
ment equal l per cent, except for Buffalo.
Rochester s. Pittsburg, which lost per cent of
its phenomenal advance Of yesterday. Several
rumors in regard % the property were circulated,
but all Jack confirmation, and the stock is in the
hands of clique who place it wherever
they please. The remainder of the list were too
dull for movement or feature of any kind. The
opening steady first prices being either I'M
changed or showing changes of insignificant frac-
tions only from last evenings final figures.
Toward noon a movement in the Drangers
took place, but after that time there was moth
ing to break the monotony, and the market con-
tnued dull but firm TO the close. The net result
of the days business is that prices in the active
list irregularly changed, though gains and
losses are for fractions only, except Buffalo
Rochester e. Pittsburg. which lost 4, and Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Per cent.
Railroad bonds were more active. The sales
aggregated 81 ,059, 200, of which Fort Worth q
Danver firsts contributed $4,000. Changes at
the close generally for fractions only,
though Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & In
dianapolis consols are up Al per cent
